Brief description of the holiday

Enjoy a week sailing to the most magnificent bays and authentic
towns of the Cyclades on board a world-class Hallberg-Rassy 49.
The yacht was refit in 2017 and has a renovated interior, spacious
heads with separate shower stalls and electric toilets,
air-conditioning and heating, tender with outboard, stand-up paddle
board, snorkelling equipment and more.

We will be visiting beautiful bays with crystal clear waters
ideal for swimming, snorkelling and exploring, or simply soaking up
some sun, listening to music and reading a book. Several nights
we remain at anchor to enjoy the atmosphere, have a drink and gaze
at the starlit sky. Other days we visit small authentic towns to
experience the local culture, cuisine and night scene.

Your skipper will be Pierre, an experienced, pleasant and
outgoing sailor with local knowledge, who will make sure that you
are safe and comfortable on board. He also enjoys occasionally
cooking an original tasty meal for his guests!

We enjoyed a phantastic trip in the Cyclades area. We were only 4 guests plus skipper Pierre, therefore we had enough extra space on this lovely yacht. The ship is in a very good condition, maintained well and contains everything needed for comfortable trips. Pierre is a relaxed, experienced skipper, who planned the trip very well and was always happy to share his vast knowledge with the guests. We definetely had losts of fun. We hope to stay in touch.

Pierre and Marion were fantastic hosts. Super interesting and friendly they made everything to ensure we enjoyed our trip. Pierre is an experienced sailor who enjoys sharing his expertise which is much appreciated! Plus they are talented cooks. What else could you ask for? Can only highly recommend!

We joined a cruise sailing from Lefkas to Athens, and it was an amazing feeling visiting these historic waters surrounding Itkaha, the Corienth Chanel and Athens.
We had some good sailing conditions with decent wind, and it was an experience to be sailing this 49 feet Hallberg-Rassy. Whenever we wanted to participate sailing, Pierre learned us about different sailing maneuverers. Pierre was good at planning the day accordingly to our wishes, and we had a good variety between sailing and relaxing in the Ionian bays, while snorkelling, SUP paddling, sunbathing, reading and chilling out. We often were in remote bays and were able to discover them ourselves.
The boat has an impressive design with plenty of non sailing space, the cabins have a good size and the boat is kept very clean, which made us quickly feel at home.
We were taken very well care of with meals and Aperitives, so we were able to relax and enjoy 100%.
Overall, it was an amazing trip and not last time sailing in Greece

We had a wonderful week sailing with Pierre and Marion. Before we arrived in Greece Panos was extremely supportive and was always quick to react to our questions. Very beautiful and comfortable yacht and she was perfect for cruising around the Ionian Sea islands. Pierre and Marion were truly fantastic hosts. They were really welcoming and made us feel immediately at home. They really looked after us well during the whole week. We thought they found the perfect combination of planning the days, allowing us to get involved in the sailing and making the whole week fun while at all times making us feel very safe. We were also very impressed by their care of and cleaning. The Ionian Islands are very beautiful and we were able to see them at their very best. It was a great holiday for the whole family and we would recommend Panos, Pierre and Marion to anyone who loves sailing. Dominic, Claire, Benjamin and Ella.

Pierre and Marion are very kind and nice people and we had good time. Maybe the eccessive attention spent to the boat and the tender risks to jeopardize the comfort of the guest. The boat is comfortable but it is not suitable for two families since one bathroom must be shared with the crew.

Dom G.

We spent an incredible week aboard. Pierre and Marion made us feel safe, very comfortable and shared lots of laughs with us as we discovered some amazing places across the Cyclades. Would totally recommend spending a week aboard this beautiful Hallberg-Rassy 49- great crew, fabulous boat and breathtaking surroundings.

Pierre and Marion are really great stuff, Pierre is very responsible skipper, and Marion will make you feel like at home, even better :)
We had a really great time with them, everything was perfect and Big Blue is a beautiful lady of the sea.
All this together with the amazing Cyclades made our vacation perfect.
